• Exhaust defenses with tempo hurry-‐up.
DefiniCon of Covered • Keep things as simple as possible for players. Define “Covered” as anyone defender lined up either head up or outside shaded. I’m referring to a 2 or 3 technique.
• Players must use a call to define who is involved in a Combo Block. Play Side Calls are Jack (Center/Guard) Queen (Guard/Tackle) and King (Tackle/TE) Backside calls are ACE (Center/Guard), DEUCE (Guard/Tackle) and Trey (Tackle/TE).
Inside Zone • OL Rules (GET A COMBO BLOCK FIRST): Covered – Reach Block Defenders
outside ½ of man. Uncovered – Reach to Block Nearest defenders inside ½ of man. (DRIVE COMBO TO LB LEVEL) At LB level, If no defender show, conCnue helping in a double team block. If defender shows, nearest OL should see him and come off to pick him up.
• QB: MESH with H. Read unblocked End Man on Line of Scrimmage. If he can make a tackle on the H, pull ball and keep on run outside. This play is always a give unless he can make a tackle.
• RB: Open with playside foot toward QB – your responsible for genng in correct posiCon to QB. Do not reach and take ball, be paCent and allow QB to place ball in belly. Clamp down on ball as you pass QB’s midline because it is a give. If QB pulls before you pass the midline carry out fake bounce route path around the line to the opposite side turning back to defense to hide the ball fake.
